The Living Dead Man Contest

He appears to be an angel of light,
But he takes pride in feeding on his own appetite,
He presents himself as if to be your number one,
Before you know it his game has begun,
He is very patient with his prey,
He will get to know you in every way,
He targets the wounded in the soul,
Then suddenly begins to gains fulll control,
Every thought that you think,
Becomes obsessions, which is how he keeps you linked,
You become spirtually engaged,
But really you’re just a rat in a cage,
Every word will mesmerize,
But in time you will encounter the big surprise,
He’s a charmer and enjoys his malicious ways,
While slowly draining your heart and putting you in a daze,
He’s a man with a very subtle bite,
Who knows you may be in bed with him tonight,
He is a living dead man 
and will do whatever he can,
To break you down 
while leaving you lifeless on the ground.
